I'm glad to know about your version Julien, and I will add a link to it in 
my README. It's great to have both. It's my understanding that the way 
Pandoc invokes them, Lua filters are actually faster than Haskell filters. 
So yours is probably a better option for most people. However, mine will 
still be useful for people who want to invoke it in a Haskell system, like 
Hakyll. Also, both filters are probably simple enough to serve as good 
examples for people trying to write their own filters.
